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
