Behind Closed Doors

from Letter from A. Broad Hosted by aggiemurch

A small grilled window sits facing the square where - at night time - a mother could - between 1660 and 1875 - raise the grill and lay her new-born babe on the rota where friars, on their night-time shift, sat waiting for a delivery, not as midwives for a wanted child, but as caretakers receiving the fruits of enslaved and then abandoned love.
