unclosing
Never shutting down
Unclosing means not closing or remaining open.
The word appears almost exclusively in literary or poetic contexts, often describing eyes that stay watchful or alert: Her unclosing eyes followed every movement.
It can also describe something that refuses to shut or seal: the unclosing wound of grief.
