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.
