Be Happy Hagai

Even from Babel we've been separated,
into Thou house, up to the hill, we will embark.

O Zerubbabel, how we don’t want to feel
a dry seasons, a hot weather; times when
our barley field, olive trees, and vineyard
give me an empty wagon, none in your hand.

And you, Joshua, it’s happened because we
want to see happy faces, a fertile land
with herds of cattle, a deer, and our children
are running around, climb up your highland,

into Thou house. So, with all Babel’s
ruins and debris, we’ll arise!

    I found reading this to be like reading one of Ezra Pound's Cantos. I like the knowledge tthat went into creating the narrative but the structure of the poem, especially the structure of some of the lines (eg: 'give me an empty wagon, none in your hand') had me puzzled. I like that because it sharpens the focus but it expresses a great deal of confidence as a writer of and for the reader.
