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
