much less elemental but I thought it had some connections with your
elemental list and Max Richard's Percy' work from today's The Writer's
Almanac:

*In the Basket Marty Brought to the Hospital After the Cesarean*
Asparagus-pasta cobbler; raspberry bread; fresh
baked whole wheat bread; collages
young Molly did
on construction paper — de Kooning-esque —
with catalog clippings, great swirlies
of magic
marker, & filaments of glitter-laced glue;
Parmesan-mushroom wild rice;
boxed pear juice, boxed mixed fruit juice;
soy milk; mangoes; cold
cucumber-yogurt soup; fresh strawberries;
cut lilac; blackberry tea;
a hand-turned ceramic vase; a doll
sewn of scrap fabric, of stuffed athletic sock;
and a bouquet of herbs: fresh
mint, fresh rosemary, freshest sage.
