Towel

The sting snaps 
the corner of
a wet towel 
and I standing 
naked wonder why 
I stand here
asking for this 
isn’t being naked 
here naughty enough 
no that which 
was supposed to 
protect me turned 
like a dog
growling and biting 
from whom’s hand
it doesn’t matter 
crack is heard 
pain then lingers
