first hit - in  the stomach. and then in 
 the    neck.        lights     strobing 
         in   angel    patterns       
                                  
                              
                            
 body broken, bleeding, kicked again  and 
 again  (now  down  on   the   concrete), 
           ribs     cracked.          
                                   
                                 
                               
 consciousness    rerouted    into    the 
 escaping blood. mixed with  the  glow of 
 the  streetlights and carried  away into 
 the    hands    of    the    angel.     
                               
                                   
                                     
 she   lifts  her  cupped  hands  to  her 
 muzzle                and     drinks.
