Too many war wounds and not enough wars [Ronan Lynch, 8/21/15]

There's no Fight Club tonight and it's enough to make me want to slam my fist into a brick wall until it bleeds except that I know it won't be satisfying. I need someone who can hit back until I can't feel anything but rage. Al's arrival leaves me insecure and afraid, old scars ripped into new wounds. I need to fight until I can't hear anything but the blood in my ears.

I know someone who hates me just enough to make it work.

It's what sent me, first, to a liquor store to buy a six-pack of beer. I won't touch a drop of it, but it should be fitting enticement for someone naturally belligerent. Beer in hand, I take the train with all of its slowing and stopping, out to the countryside. Ignoring the peaceful beauty, I search for the clearing where I once met a white stag.

"Ronan Lynch," I say, waiting.
