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
