Keening

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

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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