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
