Here's another ancestor.
In Spanish, the word grito has political connotations.
It literally means a cry or a shout,
but it also has to do with rebellion, uprising.
This is a poem called "El Grito de Pepaberta."
Utuado, Puerto Rico.
"100 years ago, on coquí frog chanting nights,
ancestor Pepaberta would lift the oil lamp and stuff a pistol
in her waist for travels to the outhouse leaning between
the hills--
dueling with rodent viceroys, and their insect infantry,
and no one asked who else.
The shots spooked the roosters that
hollered in the dark, woke men muttering
about la loca, who kept their bladders full till morning."
