Tugboat Beautiful Loneliness
Watching them
East River
Pushing cargo
Tankers and barges
Imagine myself at the helm
Pre-dawn and post twilight
Silent except radar
Beautiful loneliness
Spare thoughts
Poems forming
Haven't shaved or showered in days
No contact with people
The fish like me
Dreams come true

This poem is beautiful. It haunts. And you know how I like that dark stuff…
The painting speaks to my soul. I could easily embody that lone red. Easily.
Love it all.

I used to sit in the window of my dorm room late at night, watching the big trucks go back & forth on the highway across the marsh. It gave me a such an empty-full-tiny-lonely-real-longing feeling that I've never managed to capture or express. This comes pretty close. Especially paired with the art.

Tugboat guys eat pretty well I've heard
Probably a lot of seafood
Jump on board, bring your camera
Thx B

Dear RN,
To me the painting is a stunning visual. Made me feel as though I was going over a waterfall. Which many days is the norm. Who doesn’t love a tugboat? They’re the unsung hero’s in the harbor. Just keeping their heads down and doing their job. I like the freedom of dreaming with this poem. This little tug can get me anywhere. Really love this. H🌷

I do love this piece of art...the difference between loneliness and the love of aloneness. Bravo, road.
