Colours. Blue. White. Black. Yellow. Orange. Red. Gold. Sounds. Chants. Music. Trumpets. Cymbals. Shuffling feet. Chatter. Big noisy fans. Plastic wrappers and tablecloths caught in the wind. Smell. Incense. Flowers - what type? Sandalwood. Grass after rain. Sight. The coffin. The body. The people. The priests. The paper house. The set of clothes dressed over a chair. Touch. Wood. Plastic bags. Paper plates. Joss sticks. Emotion. Solemn. Laughter. Tears. Silent strength. And when all this is over, what shall we do?
