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
