"Cartuja" y "satiresas" ???
Hola SpanDict,
Love this service! Here are teo from the same Mexican poem. Cartuja I know means Carthusian order or Charterhouse but in this context it would that it must a regional or colloquial meaning: Diste muerte a mi cándida niñez, toda olorosa a sacristía, y también diste muerte al liviano chacal de mi cartuja. (You gave death to the lightweight (frivolous) jackal of my cartuja.)
And satiresas is a complete mystery. It wasnt in the Real Academia Español. Tu triunfo es sobre un motín de satiresas y un coro plañidero de fantasmas!
Muchas Gracias, Mark Jacobs

Hi: Cartuja is definitly refered to a monastery, a convent or to the religiouse life...its the permanent internal fight in Lopez Velarde, "you also killed my frivoulus desires of been a Priest" thats wath I think it sais.
Satiresas is a little bit more complicated...it could be refered to the "sátiro" a "mean goat legs beared country look godess" of the greek mitology or could be reffered to the "sátira": a very judgy poetical style.
Any way keep reading Ramon LV he is the best
posiblemente sea una palabra de Mexico
