::after won't stack below element

enter image description hereI need the grey vertical line to be underneath "latest work" work. When I set the z-index to negative though it disappears, I assume under the body? Hoping this is a simple solution. I attached an image of my mockup to show what it should look like. I have a div with a background of #212121 so the copy "latest work" has padding above and below and makes it look like the line goes underneath.

body {
	font-size: 16px;
	background: #f9f9f9;
}
.container {
	max-width: 1600px;
}

#dt-lpStatic {
	height:60px;
	width: 100%;
	padding:6px 0;
	font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
	font-size: 0.875em;
	text-transform: uppercase;
}
#dt-lpStatic ul {
	float: left;
	margin-top: 3px;
}
#dt-lpStatic ul li {
	display: inline;
	color:#545454;
	margin-left:40px;
}
#dt-lpStatic ul li:nth-child(1) {
	margin-left:0;
}
.subscribe-btn-muted {
	padding:12px 50px;
	border:2px solid #555;
	border-radius: 13%/50%;
		-webkit-border-radius: 13%/50%;
		-moz-border-radius: 13%/50%;
	float:right;
	color:#555;
}
#hero {
	width:100%;
	background: #212121;
	height:100vh;
}
#hero-content {
	margin:30vh auto;
	text-align: center;
}
#hero .secTitle-bg-dark {
	width:200px;
	padding: 15px 0;
	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
	font-style: italic;
	color: #555;
	font-size: 1.5em;
	font-weight: 300;
	margin:30vh auto;
	background: #212121;
}
.secTitle-bg-dark:after {
    content:"";
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 0;
    top: 65vh;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 50%;
    border-left: 2px solid #313131;
}
<body>
	<section id="hero">
		<header id="dt-lpStatic">
			<div class="container">
				<ul>
					<li><img src="imgs/logo-muted.png" alt="RH logo"></li>
					<li>Home</li>
					<li>Blog</li>
					<li>About</li>
					<li>Get In Touch</li>
				</ul>
				<div class="subscribe-btn-muted">Subscribe</div>
			</div>
		</header>
		<div id="hero-content">
			<img src="imgs/logo-full-big.png" alt="RH Visual Design logo">
			<div class="secTitle-bg-dark">latest work</div>
		</div>
	</section>
</body>

This is actually a really great candidate for flexbox. You can simplify the code a lot just by doing this:

Edit: Just a friendly tip: Psuedo-elements should be prefixed with ::, like ::before and ::after. Psuedo-selectors only have one colon, like a:hover and input:focus.

body {
  background-color: #333;
}

.latest-work {
  color: #999;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
}

.latest-work span {
  display: block;
  padding: 10px 0;
}

.latest-work::before,
.latest-work::after {
  width: 1px;
  height: 100px;
  content: '';
  background-color: #999;
}
<div class="latest-work">
    <span>latest work</span>
</div>

Add display: block; to the :after element - pseudo elements require this for block layout.
