Where Crying Makes Sense

There is a country where
crying sounds
are all cymbal and fire cracker
no crescendo just
sound until it's not sound
and not air just --
Those sounds that drive madness
drive the mind
out of possession
with marching and matches
hands breaking themselves into
the sound they need to make
for crying to make sense
for nothing to make sense.
