B. Ingrid Olson: Hys
Look at a corner of a room and describe it.
A corner could be a crotch, but a corner can also be my mind.
A small room, enclosed by a moat of storage. A mind, surrounded by a moat of storage.
Arrows or teeth point in a crossed jaw. Arrow no tooth, run of onions on a string.
Aperture open, doors open, boxes open, envelopes unsealed, contents splayed unfurled and untucked.
Hysteria, a woman’s hys or his, it’s possessive.
