A Poet of Forty Seven Poems

Which one can muster?
    now?
  lines
red, blue, black ... in colours
oblivions?
always same
metamorphosis
like a shepherd of one sheep
 who has colours
to brush it to consternation
if out of one thousand
brushes
a light to be absorbed
may be only forty six and seven
     or indigo
poets are scarce today
because nothing succour
is honey here
safe perhaps, locomotions
  twisted how?.
