Day 8 : Prompt : After + (blank?¿)

After the thunder came the lightening seconds behind,
After the storm came clarity of both sky and mind,
After the bullies were silenced you finally had your say,
After dinner we went out walking, our fat, full bellies away,
After hours locked in that bar our glasses full to the brim,
After the night became the day with hangovers grey and grim,
After-birth can apparently be eaten - but in this I do not trust !
After death our souls stay forever but our bodies return to dust,
