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
