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.
