Manhattan bound train
She applies her mascara
all the way in.
On another train
Another year, she re-braids
Twists her thick dark hair.

Keller has come to "think in haiku," viewing and commenting on the world around her in a stripped down syntax, translated into this poetic genre — in what has become a powerful spiritual practice.
