Hi Alex,

I see that the Italian version didn't take into account the traditional (or most usual) structure of a haiku that is 3 lines containing 5 syllables in the first and third lines and 7 syllables in the second. Since that is possible to abtain in English without changing the meaning of the original in Italian, I'd suggest:

I desire your kiss
just like the wheel of a mill
waits for the water


What do you think?
