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
