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
