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

ecologs and fighters with Global warming,

left along unprotected

into the depth of the countryside



And time is progressively

stealing from that birches

their youth, maturity, memory about happy days

of old generation

and coming offspring,

and even wiping off this crumbled world

from the crumbled memory of locals people.
