A chink open

Look a bit further than the phrase

that is a chink open like the door

in its own way

just not touching the lock

what can be translated in thoughts

you can read on the face

sometimes an eye that blinks

maybe a little tic

just above the right corner of the mouth                                                   

or a tongue that quickly licks the lips

so that the last words

which were swallowed hasty

still are read

in the light that yawns

between the silence and the point

that closes forever.
