For Geeti, Zainab, Sahar and Rona



   Multiculturalism here means          
              that
                if
            I stood
               rapt
           by the eyes
                or
           flaming kameez
                 or
              smile
                 or
           raven hair-

                 and
           if in growing love
                dared
                  kiss
           an umber neck
                   or
                smooth
           a downy arm
                   or
               give her
                  her
                  first
                   red
                   red
                  rose-

                    it
                 means
                   she'd
                     be
              ceremoniously
                   cold
                     at
                   dawn
