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
