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
