    As humans we use the parallel language system of symbolism/allusion/metaphor, slang etc… We can also almost bring supernatural or natural forces to bear on others too of course! :-)

    We can "ghost" people if we have split up from a relationship, and we can bring "frost" to any conversation or friendship that no longer pleases us.

    Sometimes we lose a good or great friendship, and using the allegory of a natural phenomenon we create or endure the coldness of frost between two people.

    It's always a delight, if we can renew a friendship, and not lose something that might be a vital part of our lives.

    I hope 'forgotten' isn't a case of overlooking or actually 'overlooked' anything, and that all is forgiven, whoever's fault it might be. :-)

    night frost . . .
    each breath holds
    an owl's hoot
