I had this formatted so nicely on my computer. not such anymore. I tried my best to keep it the same. when I post my poetry, I get a lot of comments about needing spaces between words, well if there isn't a space, there's not supposed to be a space, most my poetry is e.e. cumming's style where you run words together for effect.

for there are sirens in the midst
preying on innocent, vestal flesh (just like yours)
bestial in their endeavors
their songs beget callous destruction
not the ideal haven melodious to the
