DUST

by Adam Dattis

The Earth shook, stones clapped, and dirt clouds became sand storms. the tanks rolled in leaving bird-clawed patterned trails in red clay. From the tanks, glass-shielded troopers in muted khaki uniforms against pale, chiseled skin. Automatic spears directed at unarmed white shirted youths against dark glistening beauty. Big men against big ideas. Small bodies against big men.

They never thought ‘what if,’ or ‘what then?’ Then never asked ‘how to’ or ‘what next?’ They only said ‘Here! Now!.’

Based on true events:  Apartheid's most haunting disappearing act.
