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.
