Pound was an imagist. You can look up imagism to get some context of what they were trying to do. It wasn't just to present the reader with crisp pictures. The images were supposed to set a mood and imply an abstract idea without referencing the idea directly.
So to interpret ask yourself what images or pictures is Pound sharing and how do those images make you feel?
Shorter poems sometimes require greater thought to work them out.
Good luck
