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.
