Thanks, as always, for hosting this, @tomsnarsky.bsky.social. Here's one of my favourites, published in @thepireview.bsky.social a few years back.
IM On Your Last Day

Where were they, then, those endless nights, the lost years
we promised ourselves? So much empty talk, unspent
electricity. We would have been the only light
ont he highway, built bonfires from the sparks that passed
between us. Oh, we could have been, we should have been
so much more.
