A Very Late Frost

Mother’s Day

Pine grows well in the cold. Its needles are so sharp that they'll slice through a tongue if you suckle on any. Its cones are armor-plated armadillos. tasting of bark. Dry pine becomes a fire hazard. It never burns slowly; instead it engulfs everything in one sudden whoosh. While its fresh leaves limn the surface of air with mint, its fumes never do.
