If You Are Falling

If you are falling, howl,
splinter the sterile silence
jailing us, your sturdy bones
will not survive this impact.

Howl, and I will gather
oceans of my numb blood,
drowning your blunt decent
and washing the initial slip.

So howl, and I will fold
the drop deep in my marrow,
enduring resounding leaks
only when I need scaring.
