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
