What does the funnel of yellow heat running out mean?

I really enjoyed this poem but i didnt quite get it. If her parents died
when she was young why is there light coming from her mothers and fathers
room?

I think that this poem symbolizes a young woman growing up and watching the
changes that were taking place. Her parents also died when she was young,
so she was also dealing with that. Jer questions were left up to God, as
the memory of summer surrounded her.
