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
