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.
