Text Feature: "Conflict" by Hannah Katie New

Conflict

Muhamed watches his son stretch his right hand to fill in as many bullet holes

in the wall as he can. His son asks, “Is this the one that hit you?”

Muhamed folds his arms, shakes his head; he does not care to know.

Muhamed’s father forbade washing away the blood stain on the floor

next to the sink in the kitchen. His wife steps over it to reach for a dish.

His son crawls across it. His daughter outlined it in permanent marker.

“I want to keep it from leaking, Father.” She answered when he asked why.

When Muhamed’s father leaves the house, Muhamed moves the kitchen rug

over the stain. He steps on it, holds himself there.

His daughter asks why. “To absorb my brother’s memory.”

But to himself, he says, to prove it doesn’t mean anything.

His right index finger can fit into the groove of the scar on his left arm.

It feels like the time he jumped into the mine,

not knowing how deep. He watches his wife

wash the dishes. She never talks about his missing brother.

But at night, she fits her tongue into his scar, licks the edges.

“This is why I love you,” she whispers though he never asks.

He hates the feel of her mouth on his arm.

He has learned to bridle his tongue.

New Week, New Artists

This week Neverknown brings you a page with background sound feature from musical artist Blake Cooper called "You Don't Hurt Me", a song with soul, funk, and a very creative edge. Blake Cooper is a musician's musician with talent that is graceful on a guitar, powerful on a base, edgy on a mandolin, not to mention violin, sound mixing, and a slew of other sound related skills. There is also a YouTube video underneath the automatic player of "Megan's Song", another original by Blake Cooper..

The visual feature this week is split into three photos, all of which are by the same artist, Paul Schmidt. The policy of one piece of art per week is broken, as this artist is just too prolific to restrict to one work of art. Paul has quite a bit more art on the Deviant Art website, a wonderful place where artists' profiles are chalk filled with amazing art.

The Text Feature this week is brought to you by Hannah Katie New in the form of a striking poem with insight into death, the consequences of it, and the power behind it.  "Conflict" is a powerful poem. Read it. Then read it again. And maybe, just maybe, read it one more time after that.

Also, Neverknown, in the next three months, will be developing a full length magazine website for artists of every type. Follow this blog if you would like notification for when  the website goes active. If you would like more information or to help develop the webzine send e-mail notification to: 3dited@gmail.com. Until then, each Wednesday the blog will remain active with new features in all categories.

As always, happy creating.
