Move without scanning
Let the pointer or touch travel through the field. A poem will begin to brighten when you come near it.

Winter Road
Nine English haiku inhabit a dark field. None is presented as the next item in a sequence. The reader searches by moving, keeps one poem for a while, and finds that another can begin to surface elsewhere.
Kept relationSearch / hold / fade
Hold one relation
Click or tap a discovered poem. Its visibility gains time while the rest of the field remains open.
Let the field reopen
Continue moving or allow the held poem to fade. Reading resumes in the distance around it.
DOCUMENTED STATES
State atlas
The selected states preserve the work's darkness and the temporary relation between a held poem and one that is still emerging.
01
Entry
The root phrase gives the reader a first orientation while keeping every poem undisclosed.
Entry
The root phrase and touch instruction remain small enough for darkness to keep most of the screen.
Discovery
A drag through the field gives touch the same searching role that pointer movement has on desktop.
Kept relation
A held poem and an emerging poem remain legible together without turning the phone into a list.
Statement
The statement temporarily replaces the field, then returns the reader to the search.
CONTEXT
A haiga space
The nine poems began around two words: winter road. Repeated rewriting moved some words, removed others, and allowed several to return under new grammatical pressure. The result is a family of completed haiku without a single poem serving as the original.
In the browser, the poems coexist without becoming equally available. Darkness is not a backdrop. It gives distance a role, makes discovery local, and allows the field to recover after a poem fades. The work calls this condition a haiga space.
