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.
