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
