Jackson Pollock for Magpie Tales
JACKSON
As a child he was the fifth
as an adult he was a half
and a whole
that became nothing
and too much
He battled his demons
with drink and paint
for almost two years
driven by drips and swirls
he simply painted
And when it was good
he could not accept it
or was self-exalted
sabotaging himself and
the paints that made him
Drips made him famous
Drink made him dead
