Scars

"My younger brother went missing several years ago."

"What happened?"

"Nothing that I discuss. I swallowed that scar many years ago."

"Swallow?"

"Teenagers wear the scars of their parents and familial circumstances in their mouth. They often give voice to the wounds. As we age we try to swallow it down and wash it down with alcohol.

"In the pit of the stomach the scar is easier to hide, but in times of turmoil can dissolve us in acid and bile. We can become washed away."
