Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
