all fleshfolk  share  this  kind of  sea 
 within  them  that soothes  the  ache of 
             the rocky shores             
                                          
         does it erode the stone?         
        this water can be poisoned.       
                                          
                                      
                                          
 a  priority is the flow  of  the  blood, 
 and the oxygen level  in  it. it's  also 
 nice to maintain a low  viscosity level, 
          perhaps by hydration.           
                                          
                                      
                                          
 red  as  night  and  warm to  the  touch
