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
