Burlesque Creature Definition

Verbose word
among deaf...
brilliant gesticulator
among blind...
wobbly loser
in lonely races,
  harmless digger
from the deep void...
you have a fast hand
inside the fatal night,
you have a fleeting gesture
and an atrocious glow...!
you have no heroism
in the nameless pallor
of all your acts... !
