Here is the edited version
for the New Yorker and they
Gay boys, Garret lief Sexton.

(the strong change is unmasking
and crow)

Unmasking Wyverns

Watch me slave at words I could never say
Monsoon shark god furious
The love of my father, she snaked away

Wind swept waves bled 'til Sunday
It's a shame I am that curious
Watch me slave at words I could never say

Fierce night howls paved the way
And the way it was deleterious
The love of my father, she snaked away

Children raced past our well-lit display
An unintentional metamorphosis
Watch me slave at words I could never say

A crow-haired woman asked, "was I okay?"
Lips crimson and voluptuous
The love of my father, she snaked away

A god of wind, a shark at play
Your past is not mysterious
Watch me slave at words I could never say
The love of my father, she snaked away.
