The Photograph of a Newborn in a Yellow Knitted Hat
The tiny baby in the picture wore a yellow knitted hat.
Paul had stood right behind the camera.
He took this picture while I was heavily sedated, right before he walked down the hall to pay Dr.
Evans.
I knelt on the damp green grass.
My jeans soaked through at the knees in seconds.
I laid the old photograph flat on the smooth top of the headstone.
I found a heavy gray stone near the concrete base of the marker.
