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
