it started as trousers

that he simply outgrew.
He reused every thread and
made himself a coat.
Then summer came
and with what was left of his coat
he made a shirt.
He wore it every day
until it became rags,
and from the rags he
wove a hat.

and finally, mercifully,
the wind took the hat away, it was gone.
