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
