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
