I don't hesitate why this piece deserved to win...emotionally powerful and very touchy. The message is contrived with meaningful thoughts about woman and the man who broke woman's heart. I love the title "cupcake", brilliant choice of title...

Though I've once been burnt,
by the hands of a disloyal chef..
and perhaps my hands now,
look stiff-
as my words sound,
and my eyes, a bit bitter
like my tongue.

But I'm not a leftover,
not anyone's crumbles
to be stitched, cleansed,
or even redecorated into a
whole new plate.---this parts were decorated with resplendent imagery. Though, it is my favorite part...nothing to judge but my speechless impression.

This one is going to my favorite too...I think I will read it again and again:)

My old comment as tiebreaker:

This tasty diatribe levels Nana's potent talent against those predatory wolves who seek out the heartbroken only to use them for their own nefarious purposes. There is no other poet here who is better equipped to carry off this challenge while speaking in sugar sweet terms. Who else could make such a 'recipe' sound so appealing while baking the object of her derision? A rare offering from the dark side of sunshine.
