Thank you for sending us “title”. Thank you for sharing your work with us. We gave it careful consideration. Blue Mesa Review relies heavily on stories and poems like yours, since most of what we publish comes to us unsolicited. Unfortunately, we will not be accepting this piece in our next issue. But please feel free to send us more work in the future; our tastes change, as it has over the years, and we're always looking.

Thanks again for your efforts and for letting us see your work.

All the best in placing it elsewhere.
