Context: Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
It is easy to display a wound, the proud scars of combat. It is hard to show a pimple.
“There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still.”
