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
