The scent of quarantine is lifted Still, I abstain from witnessing The chilling images of sulfur drops On linoleum boxed-tops-heart-stops Sat atop the pearly white floors
I've read some short poems,today.(Sorry for coming late,work is killing all my time.)It amazes me how all of you can express so much in just a few words.Need to learn that.

What a nice flow!
Excellent Anthony; capture the chilling quality at its essence ..tragedy implied in every syllable.
Great flow... I found your use of language to be quite unique and what a great line - “On linoleum boxed-tops-heart-stops” very poignant!
also liked the contrast between "sulfur drops" and "pearly white floors"
As the comments say...very chilling...and very well written.
Thanks for taking part in One Shot...all the best

So little, but so much from it. Fearfully well-executed.
Very dense language. I like the hard syllables that pile up on top of each other.
Fine poetic arrangement of rhythm and images. Very well done.
You've painted quite a picture with these few words, Anthony. Nice shot!
Pointed, political, potent.
