The Pink Axolotl

Eyes pitch black just like night sky with no stars.
How long until there's no more of my kind?
Endless aquarium, endless sea.
Rocks, kelp, algae and soft sand but nothing else to see.
Kelp trying to touch the shimmering sky.
A long, kind kelp hugging a fish.
While a slimy pink glittery gem glides by.
When will this beauty of a sea creature fade away?
Will this be the last time I will see my fishy friends?
How long until there's no more of my kind?
