The poems of Muratbek Rysbekov
translated by Zamirbek Osorov

The fight between tenses

The growing advanced mind
attracted by future
often sealed up
by the present time’s tough rule and rigidness,
which was jealous to progress
fight and fight
tooth and nails
against the very progress
and after the truth become apparent
and when the outdated finally loses this fight
it denying this fight
and then plagiarises the winner.

The birches of Kara-Kulja

The old birches,

like the old aksakals

recalled about far gone young years,

with the picturesque Bregel’s trunks

obliterated and engraved

heavily by times.

Two days ago

one of them fell down at night,

crushed by a strong wind,

and now all his survived comrades

looked so solemn

in deep mourn,

shocked by this tragedy.

This old forest

deployed on the bank of mountain river

is going to extinction

in our eyes,

forgotten

by friends of nature
