Long Radial Poems

We are each and all Black Lives as small Deaths
inside our historical-cultural DNA emergence
into full-octave multicultural ecopolitics.

In Earth's ecosystem,
there can be no ecological entity perceivable as White,
or even Light,
unless historically emerged as reversing full-radial
progenitive Black,

I think, perhaps, the greatest evil
of the plague that we call P.C.
Is how it drops a shade on us,
until truth we no longer see.
It tells people we’re all the same,
that all cultures are just as...

Helianthus annuus, heliotropic slow son dance

Stream of photons bathe
top heavy fountainhead of sunflower.

Analogous to Atlas
shrugging, hoisting, grappling...
with planet Earth, the heavyweight
discobolus buoyantly held aloft
upon robust stem
tracks the heavenly orientation
of said hypothetical nearest star.

This immense distance,
nonetheless...

To start th' motor required enthusiastic spinnin' uv a crank!

Majestic sparkles dot the salty sky like Cubic zirconia.

That would be the wet sky on your left...
no, dear child, your other left...
yeah-yes, that's the one, 
The one placed just below the real Mccoy, 
the one...

"Hello Do I Know You" (I do know you)
Written By: Rodney Riggins


Hello how are you? Do I know you?
This feeling is happening for a reason 
as if it was meant to be. Quite frankly
I believe...

Experiment, the worth of kings,
no bonafide adventuring
not impinge, glory, noticing,
the trial of "over" ~ SING, BUT SING!

And over, 'til the mode be right,
that last decision, still up tight.
I've felt it oft, all nerves on edge,
have...

one of the richest more educated places
on the entire planet

the largest economy, 
the best military
still for now a democratic country

is this the best we can do
choose between three...

Motivation keeps us dream chasing
Those thoughts that you hold dear to your heart
Until the world falls apart from me missing you
These thoughts of you keep me holding onto
This abstract feeling called love
Now...

(A Geometrical Metaphor)

There are circles that float inside circles it seems
Some have bounds set by breadth of their radial dreams,
Forms concentric though mavericks spin like they’re free,
Two-dimensional dreamers, is that liberty?

There are circles that live...

Slipping in, within, into deep silence
We sense divine currents, in playful dance
Accompanied by inner sound current
Thunderous bliss in our heart resident
Our form thus luminous, in permanence 

Time stretched stillness, with bliss in renewal
In being, becoming...

Ellipse, evolute, vertex and curve,
Humdrum circle or ricochet swerve
Astroids or cusps, arcs or sectors;
What have those got to do with vectors?
Curvature, cone, Cartesian plane…
Oval, deltoid… what’s in a name?
Geoid oscillation, pedal, radial, rose…
What on earth...

Here I behold my shadow, 
And it stares back at my horror
Giggling up at my very cold soul-
I seize fright, I take flight

There I peep through the mirror, 
And panic at the radial terror
The eyes,...

We used to live next 
to a respite, set nearer the sky. 
My mother told me 

they who pass through spent 
days or nights there, sometimes months; 
it was necessary 

to not see their troubles....

Our softened attention in quietude
Poised thus in sedentary calm tranquil
Imbibes bliss throb inpourings radial
Trusting magnetism rise with fortitude
This play of delight, in our solitude
Embraced as benign divine miracle

Oh hermit! Standing still, keep heart open
Simply rest...

Star of David 
The central sun
Unconditional love
Faulting no one

Symbolising thus
Union of polarities
Benign bliss explosion
Climax in continuity 

Unlike other chakras
Anahata is special
Wherein love throbs
Transmission radial

Imposing no condition
Heart has no blockage
Immune to ego assault
Allows all safe passage...

Ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk
a shear blade stricking sheet metal, ka-chunk.
Cah-tink, cah-tink, cah-tink, cah-tink, cah-tink
a press pierces, notches and holes, cah-tink
Cha-boom, cha-boom, cha-boom, cha-boom, cha-boom.
Breaks form ninties on a blank sheet, cha-boom.

Choosing to flow
In stillness slow
Bonds untied
Energy field unified
Bliss does overspill 
Spacial calm tranquil 

Cognisance of presence 
To inner sentience 
In stillness does feel
Bliss in full appeal

Thus at ease
Duality does cease
Pulse within stillness 
Radiance in fullness...

For the umpteenth time, 
the sun flares its solaris routines.

Painting the stroke of a wolf's tail,
as a sign of dawn.

Its color rises straight up, 
as if tickling the sky.

Mouthpieces of minaret sound faintly, 
racing with...

Prejudice dark, discernment light
So let us not mix up the two
Distinguish between black and white
Whilst we let not toxic fumes spew

The jaundiced eye is judgmental 
Prejudice dark, discernment light
Let then our love be radial
Yet recognising...
