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
