Word of the Day: LATIBULATE

ETYMOLOGY
from participial stem of Latin latibulari, from latibulum (hiding place)

EXAMPLE
“…Shhhh! Do you hear the whispers?
ones that taunt, laugh and persuade
they are here, there, and everywhere
as I
latibulate with my face to the wall

Sometimes they chant a single word
in chorus or in perpetual canon
until the sound overwhelms my thoughts
Shhhh! Do you hear the whispers?
…”
