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.
