I would appreciate recs for Sam/Dean or J2 fics which use poetry in some way as part of the story - poems by established poets (not song lyrics). Examples (but not limited to): Shakespeare, ee cummings, Richard Siken, Emily Dickinson, Pablo Neruda, Dylan Thomas, Rita Dove, Elizabeth Bishop, etc.
The poem(s) - could just be one - should be part of the story, critical to it in some way or used to highlight specific characters or scenes. Epigraphs alone are not what I'm looking for.
One example I can think of is compo67's PUNZEL, where Jensen quotes a poem to Jared during their sex scenes - each poem illuminates some change in Jensen's thinking or their relationship. (Not a flowery, romantic thing - he gasps out poetry during sex; setting the rhythm toward climax, and Jared becomes addicted to it!)
Is this even a Thing? I appreciate your help!
