I hadn't intended to include that DParker poem, but then it popped into my head and it was way, way too perfect not to put in. And yes! I thought it was so Dawn, too, for exactly the reason you mentioned!
And the Millay poem was the one the whole fic came from. I read it for the first time in college and thought, "OMG IT'S BUFFY!" and everything else fell into place from there. So I'm glad those moments worked for you. Yay fic!
