Caretaker
Those who take care of us
They are our breathing mates
Absorbing our filth
Without complaining a thing
Can there be anything more good than trees?

On reading your title, I did not expect the subject matter of the poem to be about trees…and yet what you’ve written is both perfect and utterly true. We take trees for granted – and this is a salient reminder of why we shouldn’t do so. This is gorgeous.
Thanks
