In Search of Lost Cake

Reading about how Proust used

To deduce lucidity from his formative memories

By inducing a wakeful, malleable form of sleep

What comes from a seed

A sequence commenced by the diminutive immensity of a madeleine being eaten

Peeling back years, rewinding seasons

Leaves replenished trees, who agreed to forget their yearly treason

Dearly seeking reasons.
