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
