Things you can’t wear anymore; stuffed into the bottom drawer.
Moths and rust may find them there, but they are beyond your care.
Fashions change, and sizes shrink. You expand from food and drink.
Trendy people all can see that you’re clad in history.

Leather, linen, wool or silk, out of fashion, stained by spills
at the bottom of a stack, in the closet at the back,
left alone for quite a while, may, someday, come back in style.
When the day comes to downsize, they’ll burn brightly in the fire.
