Katrine Marie Guldager er tilbage som lyriker med en samling digte, som handler om at blive til i en anden verden. Flere tider og steder lægger sig ind over hinanden. En nutid med børn, kat og hortensiabed flyder sammen med erindringer om en barndom i Østafrika: Haile Selassies løver, at spise nzima med fingrene, tiden tilbragt alene under bananpalmen, at krydse en flod i en anden tid.
