I have seven pairs of eyes.Four pairs of my eyes are perpetually closed: three pairs
are always open.

With four pairs of my eyes I sleep. With the other three pairs
I’m awake.

With one pair of eyes I sometimes see a horse flickering,
a horse falling.

In fact with this pair of eyes I see only horses, herds of horses, horses
moving in one direction as if a script in a language I cannot read –
and also a horse flickering, a horse falling.

I do not know if this pair of eyes is a pair that is open and awake,
or a pair that is closed and sleeping.

Because I have four pairs of eyes that are sleeping and three pairs
of eyes that are awake, the probability is that I am seeing these horses in my sleep. But I can’t say so for certain.

With this pair of eyes I sometimes see draft horses, sometimes Arabian
horses, sometimes horses I am not sure how to name and that come,
possibly, from a time before horses were ever broken.
