Dry and skittery
a silence splintered by riotous rabid
white noise
formless David Bowie make-up
streaked on bedroom
mirror.
High and sweaty
a cry created by demolition diva
black symphony
strapless sequin dazzled disguise
lying on dead heaped
mattress.
Steel and squeaky
a sigh strangled by heroin Marilyn
gray autopsy
stainless blue suite light
lip crack on iced
dream.

The alliteration got dull fairly quickly for me. I mean, the poem itself isn't bad, but the alliterative bits distracted me more than anything else from its message.
