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.
