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
