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.
