Destroying Angels

You would have me
caught in folds
of the Amanita mushroom,
cleaved to tacky gills
beneath a snowy cap,
veiled in its milk,
a syrupy, virginal guise.

One pure, ambrosial taste:
deadly.

Amanita Ocreata
a species of poisonous mushrooms
known commonly as "Destroying Angels"

Groovy!

A broken heart may hurt me, but a broken heart won't kill me.

Thanks, Everyone. Inspired by a picture of a mushroon, actually. Recalled a movie where a murder is committed via a death cap.
