Poem #15 In five minutes there might be a misunderstanding

in five minutes there might be
a misunderstanding
pillars of compared homestead
dropped in to afternoon tea
only two women came out of
faraway places
world for their secret well
heavy man Eden in wanderings
shoulder judgment on the railway
to etiquette
a stranger to free privileges
eyes a grave even when the sun touches it
the smile never became a habit.
perhaps kindness for to many years
putting flowers in a vase
but I’m serious, do you  care for me?
how can you ask it
waiting for a bottled answer
in a drawing room of over-vehement love
drank in civilization
happy golden saints to draw
work for an age to blame
joy limping on some private owned property

faith an old idol long spent.
