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.

 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.
