Why aren't You Laughing (poem)

Why aren't You Laughing

We are rock
spark clacking
rock sediment
with no sentiment
the devil crawled
into my eyes
just as he has
into yours
no love, none
only waking
lonely fingers
lanky bones
crush Adam's apple
and your eyes
roll backward
can you see him
the devil stare
head bowled
cackling at you
and I'm cackling
at you, my darling
nevermind the world
and never the birds
who flew behind
why aren't you  
laughing, why don't we
shake hands
