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
