I cannot find a definition anywhere for the term "came" which I
believe is a carpentry term, but it could also be a word from the
construction trade as well. I found it used in a poem and I cannot
understand the meaning of the poem without knowing the meaning of the
word as it is used in carpentry. Here's the verse from the poem:
Goosebumps leave a trail to be followed,
a roey grain.
Are there secret compartments
chamfered in your soul?
A place where no one has been?
Or, can I peer behind the came
through leaded glass doors
to see what heirlooms lie within?
Thanks so much!

A Came is the opaque non-glass component in a leaded light. Not really a
carpentry term.
M'self, I'm having more problems parsing "chamfered" unless it's
alliteratively punning "chambered" for the sake of some personal metaphor
wot I isn't getting.
Keep in touch :-)

came is a stained glass term. it means the lead connection pieces between
the glass pieces in a stained glass panel.

btw: you may also see it as calme, in very old (mostly victorian) writing.
it's still pronounced came (with a silent l).
