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.
