Anagram

Arshi Mortuza is a Bangladeshi poet based in Toronto. Her confessional, satirical work often explores themes of identity and loss. Her second book of poetry, "Pressed Flower," is forthcoming in early 2026.

Anagram

I shuffled my will to live,
and it became something evil:
lackluster literature.

Shit —
that’s not even a haiku.

I spelled my pain out for you,
but the cut,
the blood,
the clots,
the scab —

were all rearranged letters
from the same wound.
