A/N: A request done for FaithInFiction on AO3!

Prompt was the words "Kiss", "History", and "Rigor Mortis".

Very much so freeform - I may do a second one that's more of a rhyming kind.

10/2023: Dunno how the formatting is gonna work on these.

After The Fact


Standing there,

Autumn's gentle kiss is prominent

in its playful breeze.

The grass dead before (you/him),

graves rising above tombs like loyal guards,

their charge beyond the Garden Wall.

Their history is what is left-

their names,

their time,

themselves;

left to the Unknown.

Given out to rigor mortis,

and then unto Earth,

then - then

to twilit autumnal fields.

And we were left here after the fact.
