"Between the pool and the gardenias"

This story takes place in the Dominican where a women named Marie finds a baby wrapped up in a blanket in the street. I'm assuming that the babies name was Rose because that was embroided on her clothing. What was intriguing about this story is that you don't realize shes speaking of a dead baby until the end, unless you catch her symbolism ahead of time. The first sign was when she wrote "she smelled like the scented powders in Madames cabinet the mixed scent of gardenias and fish" this stood out because upon reading it i was thinking to myself "ok so she smells like fish gross" and i couldn't figure out why until i realized the baby was in fact dead. Marie talks to the baby and refers to it as if it was alive and well telling her about all of her miseries through out life about her cheating husband, her miscarriages, and how she slept with a Dominican pool cleaner. When she finally decided to bury the baby the Dominican calls the police saying that Marie was evil and killed the baby.
