Roland Bastien Poems
Tinkled – the Sundays’ bells
Brought by the wings
Flown beyond the dodge palace
...
Tinkling milliard of ions
In slow motion into my
Synapses canal that
...
Wobbles like sneaks.
Some are too gay looking
To be real
Like images we can see these days on store’ windows at Robson Street.
...
Le dernier souper.
Elle venait seule me visiter un soir de printemps. Le ciel était sans nuages. L’odeur des bourgeons sur les arbres longeant la rue Robson enivrait la nuit de ses parfums d’avril. Elle m’offrait, en ouvrant la porte pour l’accueillir, un bouquet de fleurs variées qu’elle portait sur le bras gauche et dont le parfum me piquait les narines. J’en ai fait deux bouquets, isolant ceux dont je fus allergique et les plaça l’un dans le pot prés de la fenêtre qui donne sur Robson et l’autre sur la petite table de la salle de bain, en prenant soins de bien fermer la porte, avec l’idée de les jeter a son départ.

Bodies ensure facts
Suddenly a void
The deep and profound moan
...
-Crass Casualty obstructs the sun and rain…
Thomas Hardy (Hap)
...
The sky changes gray.
Heavy clouds move faster and stop the sun to shine.
glaucous gulls straggle with wind’s blow
find their trend over the waves
...
The light getting brighter
Over the
9th century memory
While phantoms attire

The Best Poem Of Roland Bastien
Melody
The music lilts
Five notes - butterflies utter
A gyre brims tears
Over flowers rim
An empty shed
Twinkles - birds peer at the light
