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
