Barley Flour from Fly by Bear Roots (Lolly Dunlap and Amy Durso)

My otherness is a mystery
But my queerness, a victory
Casting off definitives
Just tryin’ to stay inquisitive

And my devotion, it is not broken
Though often unspoken
And my tenderness, yeah
She’s wilderness
Cavernous

Oh the layers of suffering
They’re here for the uncovering
And all that is dislodging
The watcher is just watching

And my devotion, it is not broken
Though often unspoken
And my tenderness, yeah
She’s wilderness
Cavernous

She holds the sea
She holds the sea

With kindness as fine as barley flour
For this is where we source our power
And you sing with the thunder
And dance in the rain
And I will ride this lightning for I cannot contain…
This open heart

She holds the sea
She holds the sea

Hey rational,
Make way for magical
Burn off this static
The cobwebs in the attic
I am attuning
Cicadas blooming

And my devotion, it is not broken
Though often unspoken
And my tenderness, yeah
She’s wilderness
Cavernous

She holds the sea
She holds the sea

With kindness as fine as barley flour
For this is where we source our power
And you sing with the thunder
And dance in the rain
And I will ride this lightning for I cannot contain…
This open heart
