Silence and Sirens

There's little difference in the susurrus spoken sound
of 'silence' and 'sirens'
yet within their substance
is considerable distance
That is how I feel
about the sigh of you and I.
I've spent an ephemeral eternity
trying to establish
which of us, despite apparent semblance,
is guilty of the din.
I've started to surmise that it is me—
the bashful banshee.
