ATT. POETAS:  Integrate Sacramento acogerá una exhibición de arte muy especial el próximo sábado 11 de febrero. Contactar con Anna Irene, Valerie o Margaret para compartir tu trabajo con nosotros. Para inspiraros os dejamos este bello poema del poeta chileno Pablo Neruda:

Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands; how did your lips feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks, the white statues that have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will do me irreparable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window.
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting stars, falling objects.
