Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

The old woman's keening wails pierced the quiet night, mourning the loss of her husband.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

The mother's keening could be heard as she grieved over the loss of her child.
