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
