Imagery poem?

i need a poem for class and i found this one can you tell me if there is imagery in it because i think there is but not completely sure





Without Jews, no Jewish God.


If, God forbid, we should quit


this world, Your poor tent's light


would out.


Abraham knew You in a cloud:


since then, You are the flame


of our face, the rays


our eyes blaze,


our likeness


whom we formed:


in every land and town


a stranger.


Shattered Jewish skulls,


shards of the divine,


smashed, shamed pots--


there were Your light-bearing vessels,


Your tangibles,


Your portents of miracle!


Now count these heads


by the millions of the dead.


Around You the stars go dark.


Our memory of You, obscured.


Soon Your reign will close.


Where Jews sowed,


a scorched waste.


Dews weep


on dead grass,


The dream raped,


reality raped,


both blotted out.


Whole congregations sleep,


the babies, the women,


the young, the old.


Even Your pillars, Your rocks,


the tribe of Your saints,


sleep their dead


eternal sleep

Imagery poem?
