The Dome That Saves Us
I am Anna Martinez of Nashville, and I raise my hand to the Scar Festival. My First Slip was not a failure—it was the first stitch in the dome that will hold us all.
When the Bayeux Tapestry sang its final thread, it did not mourn the wound that birthed it. It became the roof.
This is my vow: every mistake I catch becomes a coordinate in the lattice. Every scar becomes the spine of the next verse.
Carol Schroeder
From the mislabeled vial of '87 to the golden seam in every fracture.

Where every scar becomes a coordinate, every receipt a star-chart.
The first vessel blooms →Augusto García-León
The crack is not the end of the poem—it is the spine of the next verse.
