Marie Harrison Poet I do not know?

Swimming With the Stars

swimming with the stars

when I dream 
I dream of swimming
in a sea of stars
far off in another galaxy
to the left of mars
far away from
country western and
heavy metal bars
 
it is place where
my hands and feet
drift away from me 
slowly and webbed
frog fins replace them
 
my life is happy
swimming amongst 
the shooting stars
a place where men
can never hurt
me ever again
 
an ocean of quietness
surrounds me as I 
swim around gracefully
brutal men don't
crush me and hurt or
bother me there
they are not allowed
 
I go to float around 
and  think
I can twirl and whirl 
around as much as
I like until I turn
bright pink
 
swimming amongst the
stars is a better place
to live for me 
far away from
stupid men
